when lost of love
when lost of love
realization emerges slowly incomplete and unaccepted
awaken from a deep sleep clinging to desperate dreams
wipe away the hopes unholy those wishes not regretted
subtle evils reach and creep rehearsing violent schemes
to step forward in anticipation then back again rebuffed
the silent words spoken aloud all unwilling to be heard
seeking sordid sin of sensation hearts bound and cuffed
face all shame heads unbowed cherish the wicked word
seconds scream and shatter as shards cover up the floor
minutes shrink and stretch which were once immutable
hours cluster and then scatter as love is opening a door
discovering reasons to retch as time becomes unsuitable
empty hands hold onto a love that has already departed
lost inside the cold iron gloves worn by the disheartened
